Environmental Agendas

Good Morning,

Deuteronomy 20:19 “When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege.”

2 Kings 6:25 “And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.”

In the Scripture, many times we read of enemy armies laying siege against a city.  People would flee into a city for defense against enemies, but then they would be stuck there with no source of supplies while the enemy surrounded them and waited for everyone to starve.  Hezekiah had a tunnel dug from a faraway water source to bring water into the city, (2 Kings 20:20) but there was also the need for food for people and animals. 

Here is a brief thought that is intended to bring us to prayer.  When the enemy wants to hurt someone, cutting off the supply chain is a common attack. They make certain items more difficult to obtain, they raise taxes or permit prices, and add regulations so the cost of production goes up; then the common man is faced with the difficulty of affording things like natural gas to heat their home or fuel to get to work.  Do not mistake it, the promotion of electric cars has a far deeper significance than clean air and co2 omissions.  If that were the case, they would be concerned about how batteries are made and disposed of (which in case you are not aware, produces far more co2 than fossil fuel powered cars).  

Our governor demands that only free-range chicken eggs be sold, so that shoots up the price of an easy source of protein. Who cares if the chicken is happy; we want their eggs. What chicken ever said she was unhappy?  Or who made the decision that chickens were capable of being happy or sad?   Every time a regulation is put into place to “protect us” or to be “more humane” we should remember the word siege.  If the supply chain is being attacked, so are the people: oil pipelines, fracking, and the attack against beef ranchers due to “emissions” are just a few.

Control has always been the goal of evil people and the evil one.  By keeping folks cold, struggling for food and heat, and limited on how to get clothing and ammunition, they strive to make the common man easier to control. 

This is not a lesson to bring fear, but to highlight facts that will remind us to pray. We are in a spiritual war for the Gospel, the church, the Bible, and the eternal souls of men.
